How in the sam hell do I get this thing off!! I see no pins, no welds nothing! I have heard that it is threaded under the brake, and that all I need to do is cut brake parallel to the barrel and remove gently with a chisel. (Notice I said Gently with Chisel!!) Optionally I could grind down until I see pins if they exist, pound out pins with punch and proceed from there. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Please if anyone knows let me know too.

Simple, go to Kurt's Kustom Firearms in the Industry forum and get a price from him.  Then send your upper to him and a few weeks later your upper will return and you'll be amazed at the quality job he did.  I had him install an A2 brake about three years ago, now I'm going to have him take it off and put an A2 FS on.  This is the route I would advize you to take also if you don't have experience with metal working.  Also, I've never read bad review of Kurt's work.  Hope this helps.

I will remove mine and try to post the pics if someone can tell me where the the pins are located and how many pins there are?  Ive read that there are two pins at 12:00 and 6:00.  can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Just take grider to it and find them then grind down the pin and tap out if not work you can cut it off with Cutting disc tool
